NO 3646 5023 A watching brief was maintained 21–25 April 2008 during topsoil stripping in advance of extraction. An
area 150 x 50m was stripped during this phase of work. A total of three isolated archaeological features were identified.
These consisted of a posthole, a hearth and a probable trough filled with material characteristic of a burnt mound. Two of the features contained fragments of prehistoric pottery and lithics and these add to the growing record of prehistoric
and early historic remains discovered during earlier phases of monitoring.
